Inspirational Poem The Reward is Within

This month I would like to share with you an inspirational poem written by one of my dearest friends, Bill Clennan, the Dean of Canadian Motivational Speakers, who died suddenly this week. Bill, you were a great inspiration to me. I love you and will miss you dearly. Jody

THE REWARD IS WITHIN- Bill Clennan

The contest lasts for momentsThough the training's taken years,It wasn't the winning alone thatWas worth the work and the tearsThe applause will be forgottenThe prize will be misplacedBut the long hard hours of practiceWill never be a wasteFor in trying to winYou build a skill You learn that winningDepends on willYou never grow by how much you winYou only grow by how much you put inSo any new challengeYou've just begunPut forth your bestAnd you've already won.
